Stamped on the back is: Do Not Use For Publicity / Until After The War / P.R.O., B.T.C. 9, Miami Beach, Fla.

Comments:

This is the second of four photos I bought this weekend at an antiques store. “B.T.C. 9” would be the Army Air Forces Basic Training Center #9 in Miami Beach, Florida. I haven’t figured out what “P.R.O.” stands for. I’m guessing perhaps something like “public relations office”. Does anyone know? Or maybe it relates to the Presbyterian Recreation Center, a sign for which can be seen in the upper left, which was one of the many facilities in the area available for the off-duty leisure and entertainment of troops. This is undated, but based on the stamp I assume it was taken during World War II. It looks like a grand day.
